Description
This much loved property has been in the same family for around 40 years, and is now of an age where some general updating is required. The accommodation is well laid out with an outside porch opening into an entrance hall, which in turn has a doo on the left hand side leading into a 17ft dual aspect sitting room with a gas fire (and back boiler). Also set off the hall is the family orientated kitchen/dining room with a range of fitted units, adjacent worktops, a double oven and electric hob. From the kitchen there is a door out into the rear garden. On the first floor there are three bedrooms in total ( two are doubles plus a single, with cupboards in two of the bedrooms), plus a family bathroom that benefits from both a shower and a separate bath.
Outside, there is a lawned front garden and wooden double gates and a dropped curb opening on to a driveway for 1 car. To the rear is an enclosed and established garden with an extended patio sun terrace, a decking seating area and lawn, with a shed at the far end of the garden.
Situation - The property is located in a popular and established area of Devizes on the south side of the town within easy walking distance of the town centre and the wonderful Hillworth Park. There is also a very useful convenience store just opposite the house. This historic market town has many amenities including town centre shopping, a leisure centre, various supermarkets, a variety of shops, cinema, theatre and thriving weekly market. Private local schools in the locality include Dauntsey's School, Marlborough College and St Mary's Calne. The historic Kennet & Avon Canal runs through the town providing fishing and walking amenities. The major centres of Bath, Salisbury, Swindon, Marlborough and Chippenham are all within a 30 mile radius. Junction 17 of the M4 motorway lies about 17 miles to the north with the M3 motorway via the A303 to the south. Mainline railway services to London Paddington are available in Pewsey, Chippenham and Westbury, and also from Andover to Waterloo.

- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
